No, the butt stock is not drilled. I weighed the stock though, and it is just under 2.3 lbs. Seems pretty light already for a stock with a cheek piece. Is it possible Winchester only drilled the pre-64 SG FW stock if it was over a certain weight? Strange that it does not have the usual 2, 7" deep holes drilled in it.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

It is such a rare gun that people don't have them laying around to double check stuff. I never saw a Super Grade Featherweight stock off of a rifle or with the butt plate off. I don't know but perhaps the cheek rest negated the usefulness of the holes?

I did pull the plate from another pre-64 FW I have (not SG), and it does have two holes drilled, kinda.
The two holes actually converge about four inches in, forming a hollow "V". So technically there aren't two 7-inch deep holes.
